Since the first settlements within the terrl-
jo tory of the United States up to within very
n , recent jears , there has been a long frontier
line extending from the English possessions
on the north to Mexico on the south. As
the frontier was steadily pushed westward
ly there was a never-ending struggle between
lo clvlllratlon nnd savagery , with all the at-
> a tcndant tragedy ot border warfare. Many
Of volumes describing the various phases of
llfo nnd adventure on the frontier have
Id bocn written , some of them facts nnd others
id fictions. If they were oil collected they
would make a library ot no mean proper
tions. The tldo of Immigration that has
been pouring Into the west has at length
Wiped out the north and south frontier line
and writers of the future will bo compelled
to draw upon the past for their scenes and
n events. Still , vvo have left to us the Moxl-
10 can frontier , and N. A. Jennings has chosen
S ° it as the sccno ot his now etory. "A Texas
Itangcr ; or , the Narrative of the Adventures
of ft Younc Man on the nio Qrando Fron
tier. " The author of the book Is engaged
In newspaper work In Now York City , and
. is widely known among journalists as a
j * man of marked Individuality. His work U
thrilling as a border romance , and besides ,
y Is of Interest as belnir the only history of
a body of troopers who were In many ways
the prototypes of the now' famous Rough
Killers. Charles Scrlbnor's Sons , Now York.
"Paul Carah , Cornlshman , " by Charles
Leo , Is a strong sketch of a peculiar peoplo.
Paul returns from America , after eight
[ t years , thlnklnc to receive a warm welcome ,
but ho la treated an n foreigner. Only one
b
roan elves him any genuine greeting. This
Is old Jose , known ns Jog'fry Jose , from hla
habit of ornamentlnc his walla with maps ,
made with great care and no common skill ,
after his day's work. In this place Paul
finds n homo with Jose and Jennifer , his
laughter. Ho forms a partnership In fish
ing with an old deaf nnd dumb man. and
prospers until In an evil hour ho Is Induced
g to go Into smuggling by n local Shylock.
The natural end comes , hut ho Is saved from
six months In Jail by Jennifer , who forces
P f f& 5l's ' tempter to pay his fine. Paul returns ,
without knowing who has saved him , and
| l goes back to America , ignorant of the love
ho has Insnlred in Jennifer's heart. The
merit of the story lies In striking pictures
of Cornish life , the admirable way In which
the love of Jennifer Is described and the
skill with which she conceals It from Paul ,
as vvall as In the superstition which hangs
llkoa dark clou'l over the whole otory.
There Is much Cornish dialect , but It Is
easily understood. D. Appleton & Co , , New
York. Cloth , $1.
Intensely modern Is the new murder story
l > y Uandall Irving Tyler , entitled "Tho
Now Goddess. " There Is , It eeoms. evolu-
, tlon In murder stories as well aa In every
thing else. Those who read Tyler's "Four
Months After Date , " and said the book was
clover , though perhaps weighted down with
business transactions , will find lu his new
work a novel drawn In a now vein but
full ot dramatic climaxes. To bring liome
the thoughts It contains to many who never
road murder s'orles , Incidents nre used fa
miliar to all who have followed the recent
poison cases. The tltjo , ns will Do readily
understood , applies to the moro serious side
of the novel , which has to do with prose
cution for capital crime ; hut there Is a well-
handled romance running through It all ,
the denouement of which Is satisfactory. To
those who are fond of that class of litera
ture It will prove an interesting work.

"A New and Authorized Life of Oeorgo
Mullcr of Urlelol and His Wltners to a
Prayer-Hearing Ood" Is the rather volumi
nous title of an elegantly printed and bound
volume by Arthur T. Plerson. The Intro
duction Is written by James Wright , son-in-
law and successor In the work of George
Mullor. The book was largely prepared at
Bristol , the home of Mr. Mullcr , nnd with
the co-operation of his family. The author
had had exceptional opportunities twenty
years ago In the United States and In later
years when visiting England tor becoming
Intimately acquainted with Mr. Muller's life
work. In addition he was given every fa
cility possible by the family of Mr. Muller ,
which , combined with the author's enlhuil-
asm nnd love of the work , hfts produced a
biography worthy cf the distinguished
Christian worker. The Dakcr & Taylor

"Character , Not Crcede ; Reflections from
Hearth and Plowbcam" < U by Daniel
Fowler Do Wolf. The author Is evidently a
deep thinker and n man of wide experience
In worldly matters. Educated for the law
he became a major In the civil war and scon
after found himself at the head of a largo
system of city schools , then a university pro
fessor and still later a state commlfJloner
of education In Ohio , where he wai a zealous
advocate of manual training schools. Dur
ing the last fourteen years he has been the
owner of a largo fruit , stock and grain farm
In Georgia. During much of his life he has
been a Sunday ohool and mission worker.
The thoughts of a man experienced In such
widely divergent walks of life could hardly
be otherwise than valuable , but lack of
space will not permit of an attempt at their
analysis at the present tlmo. The Robert
Clarke Company , Cincinnati. Cloth , $2.25.
"Tho Modern Readers' Bible , " New Testa
ment number , edited by Richard G. Moulton ,
professor of English literature In the Uni
versity of Chicago , Is at hand. The stories
are In the language of scripture , altered
only "by omissions ; these are suitable for
all ; the notes and Introductions only for
older children and teachers. This present
scries falls Into two natural divisions the
llfo of Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles.
The author has evidently taken creat care
to avoid In his notes anything that might
Insinuate doctrinal Instruction. The two
volumes of stories , that Is the one at hand
and the preceding volume , "Old Testament
Stories , " are Intended as ground \\a.n \ of
bible history. When , In the story form , the
ground has been covered os a whole , the
same particular section may be chosen for
study. Thus the reader covers a general
field by vivid selections and then pursues a
restricted part of It with fulness of detail.
Dr. Moulton has undertaken n task of no
mean proportions , 'but ' one that he Is able
to carry out with great -skill. 'His ' efforts
are bound to result In a better understanding
and appreciation of the high literary char
acter and 'beauties of the scriptural writings.

"Latin Prose Composition , " by Charles
Crocker Dodge of the Salem , Mass. , High
school and Hiram Austin Tuttle , Jr. , of the
Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn , Is a com
prehensive work designed for school use.
The chief aim in the preparation of this
work has been to combine the advantages of
the older systematic with the newer dis
cursive method. The American Dook com

' 'The Beginner's Latin Dook , " by James
B. Smiley and Helen L. Storke , instructors
In Greek and Latin in the Cleveland West
High school , Is different In some essential
points from every other designed for be
ginners now in use In our schools. Its aim
is to make the pupil's first year's work In
Latin one of pleasure as well ns profit. To
secure this end no pains have been spared
to keep the Interest of ths pupil constantly
awake by the variety of the work and the
attractiveness of Its presentation. The vo
cabulary Is made up largely of words com
mon to Caesar , Nepos and the Vlrl Romao
and has been selected with great care from
those found most frequently In these
sources. It furnishes a good Introduction to
the reading of each of these books. The
noun and verb have been treated for the
most part In alternating lessons. Their
forms have been analyzed In such a man
ner as to glvo partial guidance and help
to the pupil In committing them to mem
ory. It would seem as If a book of this
kind would save much useless drudgery In
the first year's Latin work. The American
Book company , Chicago. Cloth , $1.
"Eutroplus , " edited by J. C. Hazzard of
Portland academy , Is designed for school
use. The Brevlarlum of ' 'Eutropius" treats
of the history of Rome from Its foundation
to the death of the Emperor Jovian. The
style of the work Is simple and clear and
the sentences are easy to read and under
stand. These qualities glvo this book a de
cided advantage as n reading text over the
"Lives of Nepos , " whose style is frequently
Involved nnd obscure and farther removed
from the standard of classical Latn | than
that of Eutroplus , although the latter lived
some 300 years after the author of the
Lives , The American Book company , Chi
cago. Cloth , 75 cents.
"Stars and Telescopes , " by David P. Todd
of Amherst college , Is a handy book for the
students of astronomy. It gives full and ac
curate Information on all Important phe
nomena of the heavens and makes USQ In
this of the latest discoveries , There nro .

nonilcal Relations of Light , " nnd "Solar

giving Prof , See's new theory of cosmic eve
lution. Resides thcao and other moro fa
miliar discussions , the book contains the I
story of the great telescopes and the progress j
effected by them , together with sketches of
noted astronomers , and the reader who de
sires to go to original sources will find those
Indicated In bibliographic llets , which follow
each chapter. The Illustrations nro very
numerous , and being as varied ns the text ,
have great Interest. In view of the wlda
field covered this book will prove , it Is be
lieved , a model of completeness and schol
arly statement. Little , Brown & Co. , Bos

Students and teachers of history who wish
to gain a general knowledge of the history
of the world without the trouble of reading
whole libraries of voluminous works will bo ,
interested 1n "Sl\ Thousand Years of Hisi i
tory , " Just brought out by Alexander Belford -
ford & Co , of Chicago. Such eminent Amort-
can editors and writers aa Joseph M. Rogers ,
Laurence n. Greene , M. A. Lane , O , Seneca
Jones , Frederick Logan and William
Mathewa Handy have contributed to Its suc
cess. Marshall S , Snow In the Introduction
writes most entertainingly of the study of
history. He says "History , to t' ' : living ,
U not the chief function of language , butte
to the unborn the handing down of history
will be by far the- moot notable of our deeds.
Whoever , then , adds to this heritage that Is
to bo transmitted to the future , throws
himself wisely upon the gratitude of a race
which will rapidly grow more generous and
appreciative. As wo may easily perceive the
desirability of stores of knowledge for tba
futur * , * o wo may by that measure also
'
value our own opportunities of peering Into
the past By means of history wo who are
limited In life to a few decades may dwell
upon the experience of our own kind for
sixty centuries. " The editors of this work
have evidently aimed and with success to
make history entertaining as well as In
structive. Not only Is Incident nnd medlie-
vnl history cohered , but the story of tha
world is brought down to the present date ,

'CONTROVERSY OF PAINTERS
One Faction Brings Suit Against the Other
for an Injunction ,
DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH THREATENING
I'lnliitirr * Claim ( lint Intimidation nuit
Vloloner Ilm c Ilrcii 1 nod to

miilo ) inoiil.
The controversy between local painters
that has been productive of several per
sonal encounters and considerable police i
court notoriety , has been taken Into the die-
trlct court on the application of ono of the
factions for an Injunction to prevent their ' f
opponents from Interfering with them or ]
trying to jirevent them from securing em
ployment. The Injunction Is applied for by
Charles J. Meyer , Edward L. Roberts , Ed
ward Rlley and Bert Nichols , and the de
fendants nro William H Bell , Arthur C.
Smith , Bert Btiah , Ncls Svongnrd , Harry
Side * and William H. Russell.
In their application for an Injunction the
plaintiffs assert that they me members' of
local union No. 101 of the Brotherhood of
Painters nnd Decorators of America , and
that this organization Is recognized by the
American Federation of Labor ns the ofllclal
organization of this class of labor. They
allege that the defendants assume to repre
sent local union No. 109 , but th.it this 01-
ganlzatlon has no charter nnd no recognized
right of existence ns a local union of the j
Brotherhood of Painters nnd Decorators.
According to the petition the defendants
represent themselves ns afilllated with a na
tional association that has headquarters nt
Lafayette , Intl. , but this organization Is not
recognized by the Federation of Labor or
by any competent labor authority.
It Is then declared that the defendants
have used threats , Intimidation and violence
lence to prevent the plaintiffs from securing
employment or from continuing the em
ployment that they have begun. The plain
tiffs complain that they have been waylaid
nnd assaulted , that their lives have been
threatened nnd that they have otherwise
been subjected to arbltiary and Illegal per
secution. Consequently they ask the couits
to enjoin the defendants from further In-
terforencn with them or their employment.
Judge Dickinson has granted a temporary
restraining order nnd the application Is set
for hearing nt 10 o'clock Juno 1.

The arbitrary action of County Attorney
Shields In endeavoring to force the prose
cution of the Dennlson gambling cases by
Jumping over nearly 150 older suits , In many
of which the defendants are In Jail await
ing trial , was defeated by Judge Baker's
ruling yesterday afternoon. Incidentally the
court mildly criticised the apparent delin
quency of the county attorney In neglecting
Jail cases , and declared that some of them
must bo taken up and disposed of before
these of moro recent origin nro consid
ered.
ered.Tho
The Dennlson eases were suddenly called
by Mr. Shields , as soon as the Craig case
was completed , and Attorney A. S. Ritchie ,
who appeared for the defendants , protested
vigorously against such unprecedented ac
tion. Ho declared that as these cases i\cre
practically the last on the docket and there
are numerous other gambling suits , ns well
as other Important felony cases ahead of
It , he had not expected any such radical
advancement and was not ready to go to
trial. Ho contended that the action of the
county attorney In forcing these cases out
of their proper place was extraordinary and
unfnir. Ono of tha defendants , Mr. Nestle-
houfae , had not even teen notified that his
case was to be cnlled at this time and the
county Jail Is full of defendants who oie
unable to get ball and who are thus kept
In Jail , when they are entitled to a trial
in their proper order.
The county attorney Insisted that he Is
himself the autocrat to decide when cases
shall be tried and he declared that he had
a right to try Dennlson any tlmo he anted
to. Ho excused himself for not calling other
gambling coses on the plea that the county
commissioners had refused to pay the cost
of bringing a witness from Buffalo , N. Y.
Judge Baker suggested Hint It was his de
sire and It had always been the practice of
the court to have ih Jail cases disposed of
as teen as possible. Ho declared that &
number of old cases In which the defend
ants are in J ll were being sidetracked In
favtr of comparatively new casts In which
the defendants are out on bond There Are
over 100 cases on the docket that were be
ing arbitrarily passed In tlie present In
stance nnd he thought that It would be Im
proper to spend n week or two weeks on
the more recent cases when the others are
etlll pending nnd the defendants nre lying
In Jail.
Deputy Dunn attempted to help his su
perior out of the muck by declaring th t
none of ths older cases nro ready for trial
and ho nlo Insisted that It Is the exclusive
province of the county attorney to say when
nnd how cases fhould bo tried.
This was followed by a eomowhat ex
tended colloquy between the attorneys nnd
the court In the course of which Judge
Baker cited n number of Jail cases In
which the witnesses nnd tlio nttcineys were
all In court and ready for trial , but they
had been put over In order that the Den
nlson cases might bo forced In nhead of
them.
Dunn continued to Insist strenuously that
the state had the right to force ( tie case
to an Immediate trial , but Judge Baker sug
gested that when the attorney for the do-
feiifio had represented that he was not
ready for trial and his own docket showed
that this UASO wns being forced In eliend of
150 others the court would bo taking n
rather serious responsibility In forcing It to
trial. It wns doubtful whether , If a con
viction was secured under such cltcum-
stances , It would stand In the supreme
court.
County Attorney Shields asked the court
to Inform him what other case should bo
taken up , nnd Judge Baker ndmonhtiod him
thnt n little more courtesy nnd n little IOFS
sarcasm to the court would be appreciated ,
In conclusion ho declared thnt under the
circumstances he would not consent to
force this case ahead of so many others
that wore ready nnd that the county at
torney must proceed to clenn up the docket.
Link ItcIciiNcil from UuHioniiIlitUt > ,
Judge Powell has Issued a decree In the
suit of Charles Knl against John C. Drexel ,
Harvey Link nnd Preston Reeves on n bond
given some years ago In an appeal to the
supreme court. In the original case Ka !
secured n Judgment against Uroxcl for
$1,052 , nnd Link nnd Reeves signed the bond
j given when Drexcl annealed the case. The
decision of the lower court wns ofllrmed
